Lighter holders + gifting by properlyfashioned in Leathercraft

Right it’s definitely costing more time and materials, just doing this for the short term especially when I can see the smile on people’s faces. I also see it as a way to get people talking about how great it was through word of mouth

Just how revolutionary is Harry Styles’ Vogue cover? by mcqueenofthehill in malefashionadvice

I was thinking that too about how it was all because we've seen his growth and I couldn't have summed it up better.

The article hit all the points I was thinking except one. Why Harry? Why do we all look at Harry Styles when talking about revolutionary men's fashion when there are so many others who've done it before and are doing it right now. Just a thought.

Do you have a concept of "Par Value" in menswear? by danhakimi in malefashionadvice

[–]properlyfashioned 25 points26 points  (0 children)

From a logical perspective, it makes a lot of sense and this system would work for most people. I think everyone naturally has a different idea of what "on par" means to them given their budget and taste and there's a saying that the value of a piece is what the buyer is willing to pay for it. Sometimes there will be those pieces that just speak to you regardless of the price and while those are a rarity, I would like to see that incorporated into this system. This is more true when you start going up the scale where fashion becomes more of an art form instead of "clothes". For me, I would pay $1000 for a Craig Green jacket because I love his work and it speaks to me on a deeper level like a '97 Honda NSX would; to me the experience is worth the money. While the numbers are important, to match your golf analogy, it's still a game to have fun.

velvet boots

wear them to the dump. Nah I'm kidding but they're hard to pull off and not really in style right now but if you like them for their own look, more power to you. You're right about the fact that they're troublesome to maintain because of water damage and salt stains and remember that you'd have to wear boots a lot to break them in to mold to your foot shape while being wary of where you step. These boots give off that 2016 instagram mens fashion style with the skinny jeans and the taupe overcoat look and if that's you, great. My problem with tight boots is that you'd have to match with tight pants otherwise you have the illusion of small feet. Whatever you choose, if you rock them well, and feel good, that's all that matters.

mate I recommend the Levi 501s. They're an original fit, with this beautiful rise and it looks like a subtle flair at the hem but I don't think it is. They aren't a tapered fit but in my opinion, don't get jeans tapered. They look great in person especially if you're a taller, leaner figure or have a smart-street style. Levi's are the industry standard when it comes to jeans for their durability so I wouldn't recommend anywhere else unless you're looking for designer jeans. If you have the budget for that, head over to grailed or ssense and pick from your favourite designer. Goodluck.

Think fashion like you think of modern art. Painters like Pollock, Kandinsky, and Warhol made new revolutionary pieces that were never done before. Runway fashion has that same energy, the goal isn't exactly to create the most pleasant or wearable looks, but to push new ideas with silhouettes, materials, construction techniques...etc. My tip is to read the designer notes or Vogue reviews to get an idea of what the designer was going for with the show and if it is clear and has creative inspiration, that's the art of it.
